**[Update]** On the Indonesian Story Below.
Sadly, our three Christian brothers were executed at about 1:00 Thursday.  May the Lord grant their families strength and peace and hope.  Here is the announcement from the Jubilee Campaign, a Catholic group that works against persecution.

"Jubilee Campaign expresses our heartfelt condolences to the devastated families of Marianus, Fabianus, and Dominggus. During the detainment and the trial, the Christian community stood with these men and their families, and it is fitting that it continues to do so during their time of grief and bereavement. Please consider sending a letter of condolence to the families (see the example below). We are also accepting financial gifts to help the wives and children of these three men. All letters and checks can be mailed to the Jubilee Campaign, 9689-C Main Street, Fairfax, VA 22031. If you would prefer to make an online donation please go to Jubilee Campaign website  (Please send letters by September 29, 2006.)"

*Original Story*
From the Jubilee Campaign: 3 men are to be executed in Indonesia. The Government of Indonesia, once again, has failed to provide justice for its own citizens. Fabrianus Tibo, Domingus Da Silva, Marinus Riwu are to face the Indonesian firing squad at midnight Thursday Sept 21 2006 (12pm U.S. CT, Thurs).

These three gentlemen—Fabrianus Tibo, Domingus Da Silva, Marinus Riwu—are Christians who were arrested in May, 2000, and were accused of being the leaders of a Christian militia in a Muslim conflict in the Poso district of Indonesia. These three gentlemen were in a conflict zone at that time to rescue kids in the Catholic orphanage and evacuate them together with the nuns and the priests. They are scheduled to be executed by firing squad at noon (U.S. Central Time) on Thursday. Please pray for the Lord to help them.
